The origins of our number system – FREEBIE!

It’s freebie time!!!

One of our first topics in Mathematics, in Year 6, is the history of our number system.

This powerpoint was created to correspond to the Year 6 curriculum. The learning objective is for pupils to begin to recognise the historical origins of our number system and understand how it developed over time.

I am delighted to share it with you as a freebie! Hopefully you will find the powerpoint a helpful teaching tool and use it as a basis for investigation and discussion.

You can also make a display out of it, like I did!
